irng we' i think we're at a different time in america. we've never had an african-american president running against a mormon for president. that changes things. what was missing from those elections are all of this and also the internet. those two instrumentations, cable coverage and the internet and bloggers, have changed the dialogue in american presidential politics. to what end we'll find out tomorrow night. i think they'll have an impact. during those elections even though times were tough in many instances, there wasn't anything quite like what we've gone through in the last four years with economic downturn, which was the greatest since the great depression. when president obama took office, a lot of people thought, including his principle economic advisers, they could emerge from it in 2009 at some point. we were told the recession was over. it turns out it was not a v, it was an l. it went down and went straight across and went across and astayed across. this is unique. >> this election is about fear, great fear. both sides maki

america has begun moving to the end of the failed four decade old war on drugs. but it's just the beginning of the end. on election day colorado and washington state voted to legalize the growing, selling and consumption of marijuana. though they still need to work that out with the federal government which has laws that still supersede those. california reformed its three strikes law which had sent millions of monoviol nonviolent users to jails for decades. it's dawning on voters, judges cops, politicians that imprisoning people doesn't work. after all the billions spent and the millions of arrests and incarcerated people, drugs remain cheap, potent and easily purchased and the financial and spiritual cost of imprisoning more people than any other nation in the world is not sustainable. our next guest wrote a great new york magazine cover story about the future of the war on druks titled "the truce on drugs." we can only hope. benjamin wallace wells, ho aw a you, sir? >> i'm great. >> i'm thrilled by the movement away from prohibition. not because i want to get
